Indian women's cricketer Jemimah Rodrigues has opened up on a witty remark she made on Shah Rukh Khan on their way to an advertising shoot. The Indian batter revealed that she hilariously congratulated the Bollywood superstar, who was driving, by saying, "Congratulations sir, aapko license mil gaya."

Having done over 100 films since 1992, Shah Rukh has grown to be one of the highest-paid actors in the world. The Bollywood star is also associated with cricket and owns the Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Kolkata Knight Riders, which has lifted the trophy.

Speaking to Mashable India, Rodrigues answered the below when asked which Bollywood actor she likes:

"I think Shah Rukh Khan. So, we had a Hyundai shoot that happened and that's when we did a film with Shah Rukh and he was driving us, just like you are now. So, he was going forward, taking a reverse and I said, 'Congratulations sir, aapko license mil gaya'. He was laughing. He is very humble. Just the way he makes you feel, it's like you are the most important person in this entire world. If I ever want to become like someone, I would want to have that quality, to make people feel special."

Jemimah Rodrigues included in India's Women's 2025 World Cup squad

Meanwhile, the right-handed batter has been named in India's squad for the upcoming Women's 2025 World Cup squad. Before the mega tournament, India will face Australia in a three-game ODI series to prepare for the event.

Co-hosts India will open their World Cup campaign against Sri Lanka in Guwahati on September 30. The Women in Blue's best performance in ODI World Cups has been reaching the final in the 2005 and 2017 edition. With India hosting the tournament, this could be their best chance to lift the trophy.
